...and now I am doing it...starting tomorrow on a low-carb detox.
Yep, gonna do it.
So, I allowed all the meats I want, low fat cheese, nuts, veggies - umm, the good ones...who knew carrots were bad?
No fruit, no bread (just stick it directly on my bum), no rice, no pasta.
I eat 5-6 times a day - 3 meals, 3 snacks. I get 5 net carbs every 5 hours.
I am packed for tomorrow. Pre workout is a hard boiled egg which is on the "good food" list.
Post workout is my SoyMilk Whey Protein Shake minus my normal addition of the Stage 2 Gerber Baby food fruit (17 carbs) so just the soy milk and whey puts me at 5 carbs! Good!
Mid-morning snack is celery and Laughing Cow Low Fat Swiss (also on the good list), yay me.
Lunch is a huge bowl of cabbage, spinach, onion and chicken topped with a wonderful olive oil based greek and feta dressing.
Did you know that if you use fat free salad dressing there is nothing to break down all the nutrients in your salad to absorb the goodness?
Mid afternoon snack is nuts, because...yep, they are on the "good list", and I already measured the one portion size into baggies.
Dinners will remain the same planned menu - Bob was concerned his diet would change and he NEEDS carbs apparently (b*astard, grrr), so I will make the same menu but I will not eat the dinner carb that he does.
That's it...It's suppose to be an 8 week detox but not having that much to lose to get to maintenance, I will go 4 weeks and see where I am...
After the detox, Stage 2 - more to come!
Run safe, run happy!

I have the South Beach Diet cookbook, and it's awesome. I cook out of it because the food is lowfat and full of good carbs (think veggies) and each recipe I've tried has amazing flavor. If you want to borrow it, I'm happy to share. Tofu Cacciatore - awesome! So good, I can't even begin to tell you how good it is....
